Comma.ai, after running into some regulatory issues, is trying another route — open-sourcing not only its self-driving technology, but also instructions for building your very own hardware device (“a robotics platform”) called Comma Neo.

The major feature is that TensorFlow now builds and runs on Microsoft Windows (tested on Windows 10, Windows 7, and Windows Server 2016). There also is a new checkpoint format and many library additions.

This paper extend DenseNets to deal with the problem of semantic segmentation and achieves state-of-the-art results on urban scene benchmark datasets such as CamVid and Gatech, without any further post-processing module nor pretraining.
